## Install

<CodeGroup>
```bash npm
npm install langchain @langchain/core @langchain/agents @agentic/langchain @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add langchain @langchain/core @langchain/agents @agentic/langchain @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash bun
bun add langchain @langchain/core @langchain/agents @agentic/langchain @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash yarn
yarn add langchain @langchain/core @langchain/agents @agentic/langchain @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

</CodeGroup>

## Usage

This example uses the [`@agentic/search`](https://agentic.so/marketplace/projects/@agentic/search) tool.

```ts
import 'dotenv/config'

import { createLangChainTools } from '@agentic/langchain'
import { AgenticToolClient } from '@agentic/platform-tool-client'
import { ChatPromptTemplate } from '@langchain/core/prompts'
import { ChatOpenAI } from '@langchain/openai'
import { AgentExecutor, createToolCallingAgent } from 'langchain/agents'

async function main() {
  const searchTool = await AgenticToolClient.fromIdentifier('@agentic/search')

  const tools = createLangChainTools(searchTool)
  const agent = createToolCallingAgent({
    llm: new ChatOpenAI({ model: 'gpt-4o-mini', temperature: 0 }),
    tools,
    prompt: ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages([
      ['system', 'You are a helpful assistant. Be as concise as possible.'],
      ['placeholder', '{chat_history}'],
      ['human', '{input}'],
      ['placeholder', '{agent_scratchpad}']
    ])
  })

  const agentExecutor = new AgentExecutor({
    agent,
    tools
    // verbose: true
  })

  const result = await agentExecutor.invoke({
    input: 'What is the weather in San Francisco?'
  })

  console.log(result.output)
}

await main()
```

<Expandable title="Additional dependencies">
This example also uses the [@langchain/openai](https://js.langchain.com/docs/integrations/platforms/openai) package, which adds OpenAI support to LangChain.

_Note that OpenAI is not necessary to use Agentic; this is just an example._

<CodeGroup>
```bash npm
npm install @langchain/openai dotenv
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add @langchain/openai dotenv
```

```bash bun
bun add @langchain/openai dotenv
```

```bash yarn
yarn add @langchain/openai dotenv
```

## Running this example

You can view the full source for this example here: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/agentic/tree/main/examples/ts-sdks/langchain

<Info>
  You'll need an [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart)
  to run this example. Store it in a local `.env` file as `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
</Info>

<Info>
  The
  [`@agentic/search`](https://agentic.so/marketplace/projects/@agentic/search)
  tool comes with a generous free tier, but once that runs out, you'll need to
  sign up for a paid plan and add an `AGENTIC_API_KEY` to your `.env` file.
</Info>

```sh
git clone git@github.com:transitive-bullshit/agentic.git
cd agentic
pnpm install
pnpm build
echo 'OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key' >> .env
npx tsx examples/ts-sdks/langchain/bin/weather.ts
```
